Information and request process

The Door of Opportunity was unveiled on July 31 during the Our DPS: Living Our Values meeting. The door is a symbol of our commitment to living our Shared Core Values in our pursuit of closing the achievement gap and ensuring that Every Child Succeeds. All educators (the role of all members of Team DPS, regardless of title) are called upon to walk through the Door of Opportunity when they are ready to make a personal commitment to living our Shared Core Values– Students First, Integrity, Equity, Collaboration, Accountability and Fun. The door will continue to be available throughout the school year at a variety of locations and events. We encourage you and your team to use the door in your values work at your school or in your department.

If you would like to request the Door of Opportunity for an upcoming retreat, a school event or another opportunity, please contact Enterprise Management Warehousing and Distribution at 720-423-5633 or email Timothy_Huffman@dpsk12.org. When you make your request, please include the following information:

• Date(s) requested and delivery location
• Contact for delivery
• Length of time the Door of Opportunity is needed

Enterprise Management will deliver the Door of Opportunity and accommodate the requests to the best of their availability. Please request the door at least five business days prior to your event. The door comes with a commitment box and commitment cards. As educators make a commitment, walk through the door and ring the bell, they are also encouraged to complete a commitment card that is placed in the Door of Opportunity commitment box. Please leave the completed and uncompleted commitment cards in the box. Remember, this commitment is optional and personal. Provide a safe space for educators to make a commitment when they are ready. It is important that walking through the door does not feel pressured but instead honors individual choice and readiness.
